Prophet is the most well-known work of spiritual fiction of the
twentieth century, and it is based on Kahlil Gibran's own experience as
an immigrant. It is a source of inspiration for anybody who feels lost
in a changing world. A group of people stop a prophet named Almustafa as
he is ready to board a ship to return to his homeland after twelve years
in exile.The They urge him to impart his wisdom before he leaves. He
does so in twenty-eight poetry essays, delivering profound and timeless
insights on love, suffering, friendship, family, beauty, religion, joy,
sadness, and death, among other topics. The Prophet was an instant hit
when it was first published in 1923, and it has since been translated
into more than forty languages.
